We chat with Jennifer Chavarria, Head of Studio at Kite & Lightning-- the VR content company behind the highly-anticipated Bebylon: a virtual world of outrageous babies. The first episode is called Bebylon: Battle Royale, a “VR vehicular melee party brawler” that features cigar-chomping babies fighting each other in an arena knockout game, complete with screaming crowds. Jennifer tells us about the thought behind the avatar design process, the social aspect of the Bebylon world (you can play against friends, or spectate with friends), and how they are thinking of this concept in context of esports competitions. We also chat about in-world/in-game monetization opportunities and how Jennifer’s background in music videos and live stage effects helps inform the making of the grand Bebylon extravaganza - http://kiteandlightning.la/
